Needs a release! (pun :mrgreen: )

Anyway, I must say those vertical light gradients, with colour, are some of the most impressive things I've ever seen in doom. That or the almost perfect curve on one of thoe lights.

Good luck to KDIZD :)

Nice to see You guys taking care of this project. I'll be playing this for sure :)

EDIT:
I'm a bit concerned about how those lens flares (aka "glows") work in Gzdoom with sprite billboarding... I don't think that works too well :?

I warned you from the start but nobody wanted to listen.

@Zahl - Well, it would be more easy if the GZDoom OpenGL mode handles sprite clipping as the original ZDoom does that. Is this possible?

No. The GL code requires the z-buffer which is responsible for this.

Err... well another thing: If you watch sprites from above or below, you get this "movable wall" effekt... can something be done about that?

Not really. The sprite system was never designed to handle such glows. It is almost impossible to render 2D-sprites decently in a 3D environment.

Don't know if it is Legacy or Doomsday but one of them is capable of that...

Pardon me, nobody heard about GZdoom back then.

Plus, we were discussing possibilities about porting KDIZD to Zdoomgl (september 2004) when the dynamic lighting came out. That's why I resorted to a software-rednering based trick (i.e. flat sprite billboarding from every angle).

They're not done with sprites (i.e. the same technique KDIZD used).
